?Thought you might be interested in this forgotten bit of information......

It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration.

There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning!

He was being drilled by a senator; "Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?"

Ollie replied, "Yes, I did, Sir."

The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, "Isn't that just a little excessive?"

"No, sir," continued Ollie.

"No? And why not?" the senator asked.

"Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir."

"Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned.

"By a terrorist, sir" Ollie answered.

"Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?"

"His name is Osama bin Laden, sir" Ollie replied.

At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued. Why are you so afraid of this man?" the senator asked

"Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of", Ollie answered.

"And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator.

"Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth."

The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip.

By the way, that senator was Al Gore!

Also:

Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners."

However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands, The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released.

Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center . This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified.
It was censored in the US from all later reports

If you agree that the American public should be made aware of this fact, pass this on.

I will be totally surprised if Bush or Cheney do not declare martial law and suspend all elections. To my eyes and ears this has obviously been their intent well before the Judiciary appointed him Dictator in 2000.

Nice of carey to show up. Nice to see his programming is still intact.

Ollie was the worst terrorist on earth at that time and is still a lackey disinformation newshound/bingocaller today. Pays to be a drug runner and arms dealer and on top of it all, a traitor to your country and the constitution like Ollie, doesn't it! A token job at Fox could be yours if you betray your country enough too. Roll at high dough boy.

Welcome back carey- we missed your comedy routines. Please post some more rightwad bullshit will you?

I'm not knocking you because you believe what you believe, but Ollie North is / was a tool. This could have been an early "announcement" of sorts, on how Osama bin Laden was the big up and coming Terrorist to fear. Seems they didn't fear his family or doing business with them? Anyway, Ollie is a tool and always has been. They never think - We need to cover this up right now, they think something like - How can we distract, misinform and use this to our advantage. They've been fooling us a long time Carey, they have it down to a true Science.

I can't help but notice that carey of Texas has not returned to defend his stance. I know it is difficult for a Texan to eat crow my daughter is a Texan and she would rather beat you up than eat crow. If she is right.][

Former Defense Secretary Weinberger and six other defendants were criticized for participating in the transfer of U.S. anti-tank missiles to Iran in what became known as the Iran-Contra Affair. Weinberger was charged with lying to the independent counsel after he resigned in 1987. But the pardon by President George H.W. Bush essentially halted the legal proceedings against Weinberger and his fellow defendants, as well as against Bush himself, who could have been called to testify as a former member of the Reagan administration. Independent council Lawrence Walsh, who had been investigating the affair, disapproved of the pardon, saying: "The Iran-Contra coverup... has now been completed."
